Quarterback Tiers

Recommended Posts

ESPN has come out with a Tier system for ranking the QBs in the NFL.  Unfortuneatly, in order to get their full list, you have to be a part of their insider program and pay just to read their bullshite. Fuyuck them on that.   But they did give their list of the Top 4 who were:

1. Aaron Rodgers

2. Tom Brady

3. Drew Brees

4. Ben Roethlisberger

Notice this fact:  of these top 4....Their respective ages when the season start are:  Rodgers 34, Brady 41, Brees 39, and BR  36.

Here is the list of the other projected starters to begin the season.  Of course, as we know some of these may get beat out in training camp...and other may start but not finish the season.  Still, these are the projected starters for all the other teams except for the 4 above.  I have grouped them by age classification, oldest to youngest:

Josh McCown  Jets   age 39

Eli Manning  Giants  age 37

Phillip Rivers  Chargers ag 36

Alex Smith  Redskins  34

Joe Flacco Ravens  33

Matt Ryan Falcons 33

Case Keenum Broncos  30

Sam Bradford Cardinals  30

Kirk Cousins  Vikings 30

Matt Stafford Lions 30

Andy Dalton  Bengals 30

Ryan Tannehill Dolphins 30

Russell Wilson  Seahawks  29

Andrew Luck Colts   29

Tyrod Taylor  Browns 29

Cam Newton Panthers 29

Nick Foles  Eagles 29   (Wentz= 25)

AJ McCarron  Bills  28

Derek Carr  Raiders  27

Jimmy Garropolo  49ers   26

Blake Bortles  Jaguars  26

Dak Prescott Cowboys 25

Jameis Winston  Bucs  24   (even though suspended at first)

Marcus Mariota  Titans  24

Mitch Trubisky  Bears  24

DeShaun Watson  Texans 23

Patrick Mahomes  Chiefs 23

Jared Goff  Rams 23

For these last 3....Patrick Mahomes is the youngest of all.....but he is only 3 days younger than DeShaun Watson

(in fact....both Mahomes and Watson are younger than Baker Mayfield by about  5 months)

Going back to the tier ranking.    As noted, they have Brady/Rodgers/Brees/BR at 1-4.

Here are my picks for  Tier 2 , positions 5-10,  no order:

Phillip Rivers,  Russell Wilson,  Cam Newton, Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan,  Eli Manning

Here are my picks for Tier 3, positions 11-17:

Joe Flacco, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, Andrew Luck,  Alex Smith,  the Wentz/Foles combination, Andy Dalton

Picks for Tier 4:

Tyrod Taylor, Mariota,  Keenum, Bortles, Goff, Prescott,  

Picks for Tier 5:

McCarron, McCown, Winston, Mahomes, Trubisky, Bradford, Garrapolo, Tannehill, Watson

the most recent reports have indicated wentz will be healthy enough to start then...regardless, who cares whether he isn't deemed healthy enough to go until week 2 or even week 3.  for the purpose of your post(assigning tiers in qb), it only makes sense to list the player who will start the great majority of the year.

Yes, I suppose, but I am NOT convinced that Wentz will be ready to go full bore until about midseason.
